  • Legal AF 10/3/2026

    Ben and Popok are back with the top rated Legal AF podcast and tie together  one of Trump’s worst week’s politically and legally, including giving a platform to Jack Smith to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump is a criminal; losses or certain defeat in cases that  or have lead to contempt charges against his administration; using the 30 day mark before the midterms to side against sex abuse victims by siding with the frat in the Cornell case; a preview to Monday’s opening of the Supreme Court with rumored retirements lurking in the background and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

  • Trump Loses It and Sides With Fraternity Alleged Rape Assailants Instead of Victim

    When we are wrong, we tell you so. And we were wrong that Trump would stay on the sidelines, not comment on the growing sex abuse and rape scandal at Cornell because of his own heavy sex abuse baggage. But we were wrong. As soon as the NY Governor appointed his "enemy" NY Attorney General Tish James to be the special prosecutor, Trump couldn't help him self but to SIDE WITH THE ALLEGED RAPISTS against the victim! Popok puts this in Trump historical context in his latest video and brings the receipts.

  • Trump Just Made the Cornell Story Much Worse

    Is Trump refusing to comment on the growing Cornell University sex abuse scandal or devote Federal resources to it because he’s so callous about sex abuse, given his own past conduct, that he can’t see clearly how to help? And what about his self-proclaimed “enemy,” Leticia James, the New York AG, is he not lifting a finger to help because she’s the prosecutor?  And does the race of the alleged assailants also cause Trump to go silent at a moment when he should be racing to help at the same velocity he uses when he attacks colleges for DEI?  Popok ties Cornell’s current scandal and pins it right on Trump in his latest hot take.

    Popok reports on the breaking news of the THIRD MAJOR LOSS for the DOJ and Trump this week, as a US Attorney appointed by Judges in the Western District of Washington and FIRED AFTER AN HOUR by Todd Blanche's DOJ, was just REINSTATED by a Federal Judge finding that Trump abused both the Constitution and the Federal Vacancy Reform Act laws in firing him and putting him back in until Trump's pick actually is confirmed by the Senate!

  • Trump Stunned as Judge Dismissed It…

    In breaking news, a judge has dismissed WITH PREJUDICE the indictment against former Olympian Davey Hearn for maliciously damaging the Reflecting Pool, finding that the prosecution was brought in bad faith and without merit, and that the only reason the DOJ would seek to reinstate it with a new grand jury would be to appease Trump, who is exerting political pressure on them. Popok reports.

  • Jack Smith Ruins GOP's Big Plan

    Popok catches something that is lost in the reporting about the masterful Jack Smith testimony in which he mercilessly counterpunched the Senate Republicans — he never gave them what they really wanted all along— not his truthful answers about Trump’s crimes, but that they would scare him into taking the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination so they could embarrass him as a “criminal” before the midterms. But Jack Smith was the smartest person in that hearing room, and had obviously made a decision that he would NEVER take the 5th Amendment at all!

  • Trump Contempt Hearing Blows Up….

    In a terrible week for Trump politically and legally, one that may prove to be the worst for him and his administration, something happened in the DC Federal Appellate Court, as his lawyers were deep-fried by a majority of the 10 judges, who now seemed on the verge of letting a major Criminal investigation of the Trump Administration, including AG Todd Blanche and 3rd Circuit Judge Emil Bove, go forward. Popok ties it all together on his latest hot take. Check out the full live stream here: https://www.youtube.com/live/J_fbczHedzU?is=fUzepBk2awXOomWu
